Non Holiday Clearance Items

I love hitting the after Christmas clearance sales (and the sales after any major holiday), especially as they move into the deeper discounts. There are usually plenty of items left and prices are slashed to 75 – 90 percent off. When I hit the sales I sometimes look for holiday items, but more often than not I’m looking for things I can use during the rest of the year. You may not realize it, but there are many items on the holiday aisle that you can use all year.

Great list! I always stock up on gift bags around the holidays. There are always tons of bags that are solid color (can be used for any occasion) or winter themed (good for Christmas or Hannukah). I also buy red & green candy to be used for Valentines day and St. Patty’s day. If you plan ahead you can really save money!

Interesting list with some good food for thought. Most touted big ticket sale items can be found at discount prices all year round if you shop online. As for the little stuff I guess the stores just want rid of it!
